Hierarchical control of enzymatic actuators using DNA-based switchable memories

Naturally evolved regulatory circuits have hierarchical layers of signal generation and processing. Here, the authors emulate these networks using feedback-controlled DNA circuits that convert upstream signaling to downstream enzyme activity in a switchable memories circuit.
